Arsenal got back to winning ways on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Wolves.
The Gunners had gone three games without a win before their victory at the weekend, and now, they’re back on top of the Premier League.
All of a sudden, the mood around Arsenal seems to have shifted again, and there’s an air of positivity around the Emirates.
As you can imagine, after the Wolves game there has been plenty of praise for Arsenal’s star players, and speaking on Premier League Productions, Karen Carney has singled out one Arsenal star for some special praise.
Karen Carney praises Martin Odegaard
The pundit spoke highly of the £30m Arsenal man, claiming he has been Arsenal’s best player for a number of weeks now.
“He deserved it and I think Odegaard has been Arsenal’s best player for quite a few weeks now, he’s been outstanding, all the things he does for the team, the press and the defensive work,” Carney said.
Martin Odegaard has stepped up
Carney isn’t wrong here.
We’ve entered the business-end of the Premier League season now, and this is the time when your players stand up to be counted.
Some will shirk their responsibilities and shy away in the big moments, and others will excel, and we know what camp Odegaard is in.
Even last season, Odegaard was one of few Arsenal players who was able to keep his levels high right up until the end of the season, and he’s doing it again this time.
The likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice have also been brilliant for Arsenal as of late, but, as Carney says, Odegaard might just have been the Gunners’ best player over the past few weeks.
Who knows? Perhaps if the Arsenal captain can keep this up, the Gunners could win a Premier League title.
